Make your own Easter Egg stickers!

I don’t know about you, but for me Easter means two things: chocolate and crafts! Although I also feel the same about Christmas… and Halloween… maybe I have a chocolate-eating-craft-making problem?! Anyway, one thing that sets Easter apart for me, is that it’s a lot more light-hearted than the other seasons. There’s just something about it that I feel lends itself to fun, simple and easy-going craft projects. 🙂

With this in mind, I turned to my trusty Cricut to make some super simple Easter Egg stickers. I made an assortment of moustaches, spectacles and hats. I love my little quirky gentleman Easter Eggs!

Side note: This method is exactly how I made the stickers for my San Francisco travel scrapbook. Custom stickers are definitely a handy thing to be able to make!

Make your own Easter Egg stickers

Supplies and Tools

(If you don’t own a Cricut, then don’t worry – these vinyl sheets can be cut into shapes with normal scissors, so you can make your stickers that way instead. But it’s a lot cooler and neater with a Cricut!).

Tutorial

Open up Cricut Design Space and browse for some images you’d like to turn into a sticker. Cricut machines can cut to incredible detail, so pretty much any shape will work. You could even make letter stickers to personalise the project with someone’s name!

Convert all of the images to ‘cut’ files. Resize them so they’re all approximately 1 inch wide (this will fit a normal chicken’s egg, so adjust if you’re decorating something else).

Load up your Cricut mat with your chosen vinyl, then cut out the shapes.

Carefully remove the vinyl sheet from the mat. Cut out the stickers, leaving a small border around them. They’re now ready to be peeled off and stuck to your Easter Eggs!

TOP TIP: Cricut sell a reeeally handy set of tools to help remove stickers from the mats. It’s not essential, but I’d defo recommend it! Click here to have a look.

With your stickers made, you’re all set for a crafternoon of Easter Egg decorating! Whether you choose to make a quirky gentleman egg, a personalised name egg, or something else completely… have fun! – Mike.
